Systems, apparatuses, and methods to response to distinguish a ghost target from an actual target based on radar signals and ranges determined from the radar signals. In particular, the disclosure provides an intrusion detection system receiving ranges and velocities for targets detected based on radar signals, determining a potential ghost target from the received velocities and confirming the potential ghost target based on estimated ranges and perturbations of the vehicle speed.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
4. The computing apparatus of claim 2, the instructions when executed by the processor configure the apparatus to derive the estimated updated range of the first one of the plurality of ghost targets based on the range and the velocity of the first one of the plurality of ghost targets and an inter-arrival time of the radar signals.
6. The computing apparatus of claim 5, the instructions when executed by the processor configure the apparatus to send the command to one or more electronic control units (ECUs) of the vehicle via an in-vehicle bus.
7. The computing apparatus of claim 6, the one or more ECUs comprising an accelerator ECU, a braking ECU, or a velocity ECU.
11. The method of claim 9, comprising deriving the estimated updated range of the first one of the plurality of ghost targets based on the range and the velocity of the first one of the plurality of ghost targets and an inter-arrival time of the radar signals.
13. The method of claim 12, comprising sending the command to one or more electronic control units (ECUs) of the vehicle via an in-vehicle bus.
14. The method of claim 13, the one or more ECUs comprising an accelerator ECU, a braking ECU, or a velocity ECU.
18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 16, comprising instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry of the IDS, cause the IDS to derive the estimated updated range of the first one of the plurality of ghost targets based on the range and the velocity of the first one of the plurality of ghost targets and an inter-arrival time of the radar signals.
20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, comprising instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry of the IDS, cause the IDS to instructions that when executed by the processing circuitry of the IDS, cause the IDS to send the command to one or more electronic control units (ECUs) of the vehicle via an in-vehicle bus.
21. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 20, the one or more ECUs comprising an accelerator ECU, a braking ECU, or a velocity ECU.
